Every book here is in the public domain in Ireland, where copyright runs for seventy years after the author's death. For most, the author's dates are on record; for the rest, publication before 1927 and no known living rights. The texts come from the Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg, whose own terms are respected, and a book found to be still in copyright stays off this page and out of what the companion says. If you hold rights in a work listed here, or know of an error in how a book is credited, please write to us.
